CD14CD16 monocytes are susceptible to HIV-1 infection, and cross the blood-brain barrier. HIV-1 subtype C (HIV-1C) shows reduced Tat protein chemoattractant activity compared to HIV-1B, which might influence monocyte trafficking into the CNS. We hypothesized that the proportion of monocytes in CSF in HIV-1C is lower than HIV-1B group. We sought to assess differences in monocyte proportions in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral blood (PB) between people with HIV (PWH) and without HIV (PWoH), and by HIV-1B and -C subtypes. Immunophenotyping was performed by flow cytometry, monocytes were analyzed within CD45 + and CD64 + gated regions and classified in classical (CD14CD16), intermediate (CD14CD16), and non-classical (CD14CD16). Among PWH, the median [IQR] CD4 nadir was 219 [32-531] cell/mm; plasma HIV RNA (log) was 1.60 [1.60-3.21], and 68% were on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Participants with HIV-1C and -B were comparable in terms of age, duration of infection, CD4 nadir, plasma HIV RNA, and ART. The proportion of CSF CD14CD16 monocytes was higher in participants with HIV-1C than those with HIV-1B [2.00(0.00-2.80) vs. 0.00(0.00-0.60) respectively, p = 0.03 after BH correction p = 0.10]. Despite viral suppression, the proportion of total monocytes in PB increased in PWH, due to the increase in CD14CD16 and CD14CD16 monocytes. The HIV-1C Tat substitution (C30S31) did not interfere with the migration of CD14CD16 monocytes to the CNS. This is the first study to evaluate these monocytes in the CSF and PB and compare their proportions according to HIV subtype.

Article Synopsis
- Segregated-nucleus-containing atypical monocytes have been identified in mice and are believed to induce fibrosis in drug-injured lungs, with a human counterpart potentially existing in primary myelofibrosis.
- A 74-year-old male patient with primary myelofibrosis had anemia and elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and his bone marrow showed histological features consistent with the disease.
- Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the presence of some CD16MSR1CEACAM1 cells in the patient's bone marrow, suggesting a possible connection to murine atypical monocyte characteristics.
Mediation effect of plasma metabolites on the relationship between immune cells and the risk of prostatitis: A study by bidirectional 2-sample and Bayesian-weighted Mendelian randomization.

According to the findings of multiple observational studies, immune disorder was a risk factor for prostatitis. However, it remained unknown whether there was a direct causal relationship between immune cells and prostatitis or whether this relationship was mediated by plasma metabolites. Based on the pooled data of a genome-wide association study (GWAS), a genetic variant was used to predict the effects of 731 immunophenotypes on the risk of prostatitis and determine whether the effects were mediated by 1400 metabolites.

Article Synopsis
- - Sepsis is a serious condition causing multiple organ failure and issues with immune responses, and the role of monocytes in septic shock is not well understood.
- - The study characterized monocyte subpopulations in septic shock by analyzing their protein profiles, identifying 67 proteins that differ in expression compared to healthy individuals.
- - Findings highlight the involvement of these proteins in key processes like immune dysfunction and blood pressure regulation, suggesting they could be targets for future diagnostics and treatments for septic shock.

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a significant psychological disorder influenced by environmental and genetic elements. Emerging research highlights the pivotal role of the gut microbiome in the development of diverse mental health conditions. This study aims to explore the causal effects and interactions of the gut microbiome, metabolites, immune cells, lipids, and inflammatory proteins on the risk of anorexia nervosa through mediation and multi-omics Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis.
